. elevation. '(FigQ/i) and is'conip'osed oi .a flatfplate 19 with said flange. A stem 15 is forined on Patented Feb. 23, 1909.

and extends in alineiifient with vthe flange 15a and the outer portifolifof .said stem is rolled laterally to form an opensleeve 15d.. The

.hooks 1 6, 16 are mounted on opposite ends ofj the tubes 10,11 and are'securedagainst longitudinal movement by pins 15,1 6" and are adapted to engage by means ofthe' the extreme' i'naiginal 4faces of the face-cast'ace-casings, such as 17, 18, as 'shown' in Figs. 1 and '2. The hooks 1.5, limay engage the extreme marginal faces of the face-Cas.

ings, assho'ivn, and may be held securelyyet detachably thereon by contractile forceV .of the spring 14 tending to draw the tubes 10,

11 together. Or, the hooks 15, 16 may biere-l versed on the tubes and engade the inner marginal faces of tace-casingsby reason .of

expansive force of the spring. 1.4 tending 't o separate said tubes. Ineither event, it is the contraction orexpausion of the spring .11 thatv causes 'the prongs or lugs 15b of the hooks 15' 16 'to bite land engage'theface-cas- 'ings and support the' tubes at the desired Aqcurtain fixture is provided and brackets 20, 21 integral 'ivith and at 'rightangles to the ends of said plate. Holes 22,' 23 'are forined in the brackets 20, 21 adjacent'the plate 19.aud said holes are adapt- -ed to receive one end portion of the tube'11 -`in such manner that such tube will hold the iiat plate 19 in Contact with vthe t'acecasing l17, and said flat plate. is suiiciently broad thatfits Contact with the face-casing'will preventfrotaryvinoveinent of the fixture onor with' the tube 11.

. The brack'et 20 is orined .may .be .provided'with a` stud or lug' 26 adapted to engage sa-id curtain pole and pre- 'vent accidental moveiti'enttli'ereof longitudilar slot 27 in its. outerA end,-which slot is adapted to I receivennd non-'rotatively supi port a pintle', of'common form, in one end4 portion ofa shade'ro'ller-28 (Fig. 2).

with a hook 24 i 'at itsouter end adaptedto support one end portion ofa v curtain pole 25 and saidhook A curtain fixture is provided (Fig. 15) 4andis composed of a .flatfplate29 andbrackets' 30.131 integral with and at rio'ht'angef; to

end portions of said plate. 'Hoes 32, 33t-.re formed in the brackets 80, 31- adjacent the fiat plate 29. and are adapted to receive one end portion of the tube 10 and be supported 2 l e eresie by said tube in contact with the face-casing 1S. rElie fiat plate 22) is ot' such breadth that when held in contact with the face-casing 1S it prevents rotation of the iixture on or "with the tube 10. A hook 34 is formed on the uter end ofthe bracket and is a counterpart. of the hook 9A. The book 34 is adapted to support one end portion of tbe curtain pole 25 and may be formed Witli'a stud or lug adapted to engage said pole and pre.

vent movement thereof longitudinaily or ro tutively relative to said book. A hole 36 is formed in the extremity of the bracket 81 and is vadapted to engage and journal a pintle on one end portion of a shade roller 28.

The curtain fixtures may be adjusted in any desired position longitudinally of the tubes 10, 11 but preferably are located so that the Hat plates 19, 29 thereof will engage faces of the casings 17 18.

It will be observed that either the curtain .pole or shade roller may be'removecl and replee-ed relative to the fixtures Without disturbing 'the other.

When it is" desired to engage the inner margins of tlie casings by the boeks 15, 16, said hooks are mounted on the tubes i0, 11

l priorv to mounting tbe'curtuin xtures on said tubes; butl when the hooks are to engage the outer margins of the casings, 'lie curtain fixtures are first mounted on tbe tubes and then the books are applied thereto, It is to be understood tbatthe etlective length of the support and the resilience, either expansive or retractile, oi the spring 1d, is determined by screwing tlie springrelative to the pin 13.

I claim as my inventionwe L The combination of telescoping tubes,

pins transversely of said tubes, a spring fixed to one of said pins andadapted to be screwed on the other pin, means for supporting seid tubes, and ci'utain fixtures on said tubes.

2. Q lie combination of books adapted'to engage'supports, said hooks 'formed with sleeves, telescoping tubes mounted in said sleeves,a spring` connecting seid tubes, and curtain xtures mounted on said tubes, said 'curt integral with saidplates and aperturcd to receive said tubes, said brackets of unequal length, the longer brackets shaped to support a curtain pole, and the shorter brackets- 'shaped tosup ort a shade roller.
